Welcome!

I've set up this blog so that all my friends, relations and colleagues in the world of writing can keep up to speed with what I'm doing - from now on, I'll never have to say sorry for not keeping in touch.

You can find my novels as digital downloads on Apple iTunes, Kobo, Kindle and Nook, and most are available as print paperbacks, too.

Book of the Month - July 2011

My book of the month for July is a collection of comments from various celebrities about pieces of music which mean a lot to them. Compiled and edited by Jackie McGregor, this fascinating collection will raise money for dementia charities, a cause close to Jackie's heart because her parents both suffered from this terrible affliction.

Celebrities who contributed to They Can't Take That Away From Me include Joan Collins, Richard Madeley, Lynda Bellingham, Joanna Lumley - the list goes on and on!

We all know someone who has been affected by dementia, either personally or because they care for a loved one with the disease, so we should all be willing to help raise funds for this worthwhile cause.

It's a fascinating book - partly because you'd think some celebrities would naturally prefer rock, or classic, or indie, but they're full of surprises! Many of the quotes are very moving, too. It's clear that music really can change lives.
